A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

All of its technology has changed, but it remains exactly the same.

A non-folding scooter is like a bucket with a hole in the bottom.

I mean, it looks pretty, but not being able to fold it up really is a non-starter. Like, even if you have a secure charging dock like they claim, if you have to go in somewhere where you don’t have a dock for an extended period of time (like an office) it would be way to easy for someone to pick a lock or just bolt cut it, then walk off with it.

That pricing is ridiculous

fr, you could nab a shitty used car for that much

That is a crazy price tag. You could buy multiple better scooters for that price. They won't look as sleek but they'll be way more functional.

It looks like a rental.

It's still a scooter though.
